"I MET HIM BY TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM HE NEEDED HIS BUSINESS SIGN PAINTED, AFTER ALOT OF TALKING I FINALLY CONVINCED HIM, AND SO IT BEGAN. THAT WAS MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO, THE SIGN STILL HANGS THERE. ALOT OF GOOD TIMES DOING BIKE RUNS OR JUST A RIDE FOR THE HELL OF IT. HE WAS LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO ME, HE ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR ME. HE WILL REMAIN FOREVER IN MY HEART." - Tami Brunke (friend) 2/16/07

"I first met Big Mike after I started dating my husband, Mike. He was a really good person,there are so few on this earth like him. From the first day I met him it was as if I had always known him somehow. I'll never forget him helping me with preporations for our wedding. I was tying these little tiny bows on the silverware after wraping them in napkins, and he sat there with me tying them too, with those great big hands of his. I stll don't know how he was able to do it. Some of them weren't too great, but I just fixed them after he left that night. It was sooo kind of him to help. That's the kind of man he was, always willing to help anyone all he could. I hope there are Deer in Heaven for him to look at, I never saw anyone get so excited over seeing a deer. :) He was loved by many and will be missed." - Patty Caprez (friend) 2/17/07
"Big Mike Was like a Father to me. He took me under his wing at a young age and stood by me, taught me and loved me as a Son even though he was only a few years older. I also loved him as a Father and Friend. He was loved by everyone that was his friend, he helped all his friends in time of need and was there for not only his friends but even for people he did not know. Big Mike had a soft heart and always was a helpful and loving man. Love You Pa: MadMan" (friend) 2/17/07

"I meet "Big" Mike many years ago, when my sister invited me to a party at Mikes place....Mike always had the best parties!!! It was there that I also meet my husband (Joe) Pchop to some. One day I told Mike that I was getting my own Harley and he decided he`d teach me to ride it....WOW ...we'd go out on never ending rides together...soon others started to ride with us...we had our own little club...everyone was welcome..Me, Joe, Gabby, Phyllis,Ross,M&M,Nancy and many, many more. It didn`t matter if we were doing the Blueberry Festival in South Haven or the Hog Wild Party for the Abate of Indiana...we always had the best of times..Mike taught us so much...now our rides have an open spot and sometimes when I look beside me I still see the image of Big Mike..his funny grin..his carefree style...riding with Mike was like dancing on the wind....I sure hope heaven has Harley`s cus Mikes would be white...Ride to Live, Live to Ride...we miss you so much!, Joe and Peggy Selter" (riding buddies) 3/24/07
